early life
Behati Prinsloo was born on May 16, 1988 in Grootfontein (now Namibia), South Africa. Her mother, Magda, runs a bed and breakfast, and her father, Boit, is a priest. Behati’s native language is Afrikaans, but she learned English at a young age. Prinsloo attended Grootfontein Secondary School and dropped out after Year 9 to pursue a modeling career. When she was 16, she was found in a grocery store on a trip to Cape Town with her grandparents. Behati told Fashionista magazine, “This guy came to me, asked if I was a model, wrote his number on a piece of paper, and my grandfather was shady like that. So we went home and told my parents. And did nothing.” She said the next time she visited Cape Town, Noelle Doukas, daughter of Storm Agency founder Sarah Doukas, found her, which led Behati to sign up with the agency.
Profession
In 2006, Prinsloo made her fashion show debut as a Prada/Miu Miu exclusive, and Models.com named her one of the top ten new faces of Fashion Week. She was soon photographed by Juergen Teller for Marc by Marc Jacobs, Behati’s first advertising campaign. Then Paolo Roversi and Mario Testino photographed her for British Vogue, and David Sims photographed her for W Magazine. In 2007, she attended her first Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show and went on to do eight shows. In 2008, Prinsloo became the face of the Victoria’s Secret pink casual collection, and the following year as a Victoria’s Secret Angel. In 2010, she designed a swimwear line “Behati Loves Pink” for Victoria’s Secret, a denim line for THVM and a line of clothing and accessories for Juicy Couture. In addition to her modeling work, Behati has appeared in Maroon 5 music videos for “Animals”, “Cold”, “Wait” (Snapchat version), “Girls Like You” and “Lost”, as well as videos for The Virgins (“Rich Girls” ) and Selena Gomez (“Hands to Myself”). Prinsloo made a cameo appearance on “The Hawaiian Five” in 2012, and she has appeared on TV shows “The City” (2008) and “Fashion Police” (2014) and the concert film “Taylor Swift: World Tour 1989” Meeting Live” (2015).
